not done

if you spoke of one
and only one
and spoke of one and only one
with seven days between
until you spoke of all
you would fill the spaces
that spread from January
to June.

the space of half a year
to speak of one and only one
one at a time
the same way they came
the same way they left
one
after another
after another
and another
until all that was left was silence
and sadness
and cries of someone to help us.
